It's the new uniform and helmets some of the teams got with the new uniform deal.

Red helmets and orange uniforms kinda clash.

apparently having faith in your coach or gm is against the rules of this site

Nah it's okay, it's just a cheap fall-back when that is your default argument to support your beliefs.

Well they did announce awhile ago and check this out. http://www.bclions.com/2016/05/12/193165/

I deleted my post while it was being shredded by you and Hillbillydeluxe.

I stand corrected. I thought you guys were referring to the plain orange lids the guys have been wearing at camp. A google search enlightened me.

Those things are hideous.

Or it means Jim is gonna do something stupid.

Jesus Christ I sure hope he just take Dubois.

Yeah it's a tough call. You're safe tho, if the Oiler's don't trade the pick you can be sure they will choose the wrong one.

Calm down man. All I'm saying is it's pretty dumb to laugh at that MTL draft pick swap proposal and then seriously discuss a way more ridiculous proposal that favors your team. It's actually kinda the definition of homerism. Also, it's kinda hard to have a rational discussion with people who are irrational homers and not at all in touch with reality (e.g., Tyramkin + for Duchene = irrational discussion).

Why wouldn't we be able to ask for the moon for our 5th pick? It's basically a situation where we want the pick and don't want to trade it. I get that maybe you think it should be a realistic scenario and if that's the case we just keep the damn pick. If it's traded itll have to be an ovrepayment. Your visits here are becoming more and more unwelcome...

yep.

I don't mind the Gud trade, but didn't really like the Granlund trade. I'd rather Shink was traded for a pick and if we needed a 4th line centre, sign a guy like Cracknell. JB wanted to bring in some players on the cusp, but if they are fringe, you have to play them or expose on waivers.

Just like with Pedan, play him or trade him because I think someone will pick him up if he goes through waivers. I'd rather see Pedan in the lineup than Emelin.

I didn't either, collectively the scouting staff endorsed it. Hopefully it works out.

It might be just a cheap signing to put a player on expansion available players. Shink was never going to play here

It's very high end top 5.

All are over 6'2
All are 200ibs or heavier
All have high hockey IQ
All of them can score

Thats why the asking price is soo high to get into the top 5.

It is okay to second guess everything. But I think there is often a little more information that we aren't privy to that goes into the decision making process.

actually, I think my default argument would be to wait and see before rushing to judgement.

- VanHockeyGuy

This is exactly why any speculation on trade proposals is a bit pointless. The asking price is high and everyone's degree of value is different. More of a chance they hold firm right to the deadline and hope someone overpays. If not you get a solid player in the draft.

God I hope they don't trade the pick.

I hope everything goes according to plan

2) Laine
3) Puljaarvi
4) Tkachuk
5) Dubois

I'm not even trying to say it is a great deal and you should take it. I'm just saying from a value standpoint it really isn't that far off and it certainly isn't laughable.

More importantly I'm saying don't throw stones when you live in a glass house. In this case the glass house is built out of previously favoured, entirely ridiculous, homeristic proposals.
